PHOTOS: Ukrainian Marks 27th Wedding Anniversary With Nigerian Hubby
A life coach, Lana Svitlana, is marking her 27th wedding anniversary to her Nigerian husband.
In a lengthy post on her LinkedIn page on Wednesday, Svitlana revealed that she met her husband when she was 17 years old and he had told her he would marry her two days later.
She said, “Today, 27 years ago, me and my husband tied the knot, If you tell me when I was 17 that I will marry a foreigner, a Nigerian man, I would never believe it, not to talk of marrying for such a long time. I mean who am I that God will look upon and bless me with someone who will be so loving, caring, supportive and tolerant all these years? Someone who forgives my imperfections, faults and mistakes.
“For those who don’t know my story, I am from Ukraine and married to a Nigerian man (Igbo) when I was only 18 years old. I met him when I was 17 years old and he told me after two days, that he will marry me. I just laughed. Then he said the same thing to my mother when he saw her one week after we met. My mom just smiled and said OK Obviously, no one believed it but after five months we got married. Was it always easy, of course not…
“There is no perfect marriage and ours is not perfect either but when God brought us together, no man can put us asunder in Jesus name. Happy 27 years Marriage Anniversary to us.”
